How does Z-Wave compare to X10?
X10 is a lot like learning BASIC. Everyone has used it, and once they learn it, they have learned not to use it again. Seriously though, X10 is ideal for simple applications such as controlling a lamp across the room. It runs into reliability problems when the installer begins thinking of X10 in a whole-house installation. The more X10 products that are installed in a home, the less reliable the system becomes. Z-Wave is the opposite: More Z-Wave components installed in a home increases the reliability of the entire system.
